cardiac hydatid cyst (chc) is a rare disease that was endemic in some regions especially in sheep-raising areas. the most commonly accepted theory for the routes of heart involvement in hydatid cyst was infestation by the hexacanthus embryo through coronary arteries. here, we describe a case with the primitive cardiac hydatid cyst located around the pulmonary valve (pv) and main pulmonary arter...

total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (tapvc) is an anomaly in which the pulmonary veins are directly connected to one of the systemic veins or drain into the right atrium. management of pulmonary hypertension after the total correction of this congenital cardiac anomaly is very important. unligation of the vertical vein in the supracardiac type of this anomaly can be a draining pathway f...

The calculated systolic, diastolic and mean pulmonary artery pressure, the ratio of sizes right left ventricles heart, eccentricity index ventricle, systolic excursion fibrous ring tricuspid valve, movement myocardium at level valve area atrium are main echocardiographic indicators for assessing idiopathic similar forms hypertension according to current Russian, Eurasian European guidelines in ...

Continuous-wave Doppler echocardiography was used to estimate pulmonary artery pressures by measuring pulmonary regurgitant flow velocity in 21 patients with pulmonary hypertension (mean pulmonary artery pressure 20 mm Hg) and 24 patients without pulmonary hypertension. The pulmonary regurgitant flow velocity patterns, characterized by a rapid rise in flow velocity immediately after closure of ...

BACKGROUND Hypoxia results in pulmonary hypertension and vascular remodeling due to induction of pulmonary artery cell proliferation. Besides pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells, pulmonary artery endothelial cells (PAECs) are also involved in the development of pulmonary hypertension, but the effect of hypoxia on PAEC proliferation has not been completely understood. METHODS We investigated ...
